Colonel Fitch : Don't forget - any time after half past eight. Now, don't be late.
Lois : If you pardon the question, late to what?
Colonel Fitch : Party! Mrs. Fitch and I are giving a party.
Madge : Oh, is your wife entertaining?
Colonel Fitch : Well, not very; but, I'm used to it now.
-
Madge : [Madge and Lois get in bed together] What was that?
Lois : I don't know.
Madge : Aw! There's somebody in this bed!
Colonel Fitch : [pulls down the covers, sees Madge and Lois laying beside him] Shall I - sleep in the middle?
-
Lois : You bald-headed baboon!
-
Tom : I took it to the cleaners to get it cleaned.
Lois : Which cleaners?
Tom : Huh? Oh, the one around the corner - the cleaning shop and laundry.
Lois : You mean to say they're open at this hour? Ten o'clock at night!
Tom : Those Chinamen work all the time.
Lois : The place on the corner happens to be a French cleaning shop.
Tom : Huh? The proprietor is from French Indo-China!

Lois : [to drunk Tom wearing an feathered Indian Chief's headdress] Get back in your tepees and cut out the war whoops. I want to sleep.
Hotel Party Guest : Look! It's gonna be a pajama party! Whoopee!

Lois : He's my little pudgy-wudgy!

Lois : You worthless no good liar! You big - rutabaga!

Tom : All right, little snookie-wookie. Now that you've ordered that fur coat, I, I suppose I'll have to pay for it, but that, that 25 hundred dollars is liable to drive me right into the bankruptcy court!
Lois : Well, if you don't pay for it they'll drive you right into the morgue!
Tom : 25 hundred dollars is just the initial cost. You've got to add to that the price of my breakfast every morning at Child's.
Lois : What's the matter with the breakfast *I* get you?
Tom : Well, the 19 years I've been married to you, I never had a chance to find out whether you can cook or not. You've always started a quarrel before I got started eatin'.

Lois : [to Bunny Fitch] So you're the dame my husband's been running around with. I got a notion to scratch my initials all over your face.
[Bunny gasps, her hand goes to her cheek]
